ISGD @ PAEDIATRIC KIDNEY WEEK 2024
See You in Valencia!
for the 56th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Nephrology
September 24-27, 2024
ASK THE EXPERTS
Visit our booth in the Exhibition Hall to chat with ISGD-affiliated experts in glomerular diseases! These are informal one-on-one conversations open to all, and there is no need to register in advance.
Bring your questions about research, difficult cases, clinical trials, career advice, and anything else in nephrology. The collective experience of these international leaders includes conducting groundbreaking basic, translational and clinical research, establishing interdisciplinary kidney health centers, securing multimillion-euro grants for kidney research, leading fellowship programs, and starting national and international networks to support paediatric clinical trials — as well as providing outstanding care to their own patients.

You are invited to join clinicians, industry representatives, and patient advocates for an interactive discussion and whiteboarding session about clinical trials in paediatric nephrology. Bring your ideas and questions, and be prepared to talk about your experience!
Topics will include:
- The current landscape of kidney disease clinical trials in paediatrics
- Particular needs in paediatric rare kidney disease trials
- How to include children in trials: success stories and lessons learned
- Integrating clinical trials into everyday practice: challenges and solutions
- Challenges in patient access and ideas for overcoming them
- Clinical trialist training needs and resources
